Irrigation is put in before the bushes, we were ignorant in not checking the irrigation watering the bushes and that is why some died. We have bushes that are right in front of the irrigation head, when they grow larger, the bushes in the back of them will not be getting watered, going to have to replace and transfer some sprinkler heads or put extensions on to hit the area in the back. Irrigation is covered, I believe, on the one year warranty, but the warranty office can tell you what the time limit is for sure.

We had our bushes replaced under warranty because I challenged them on the planted size compared to what was listed on our inventory. Apparently they plant 5 gallon bushes and they wanted me to pay for 20 gallon bushes. Told them they weren't 20 gallon size, they agreed and gave us what we paid for. Check everything, trust no one !
